How our taco bar hire works in Filching
Mixed diets are simple at a taco bar, as fillings and toppings are kept in separate dishes. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, plus allergen information for every dish. It suits evening receptions and wedding breakfasts, with a build-your-own taco bar, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and pickled onions and toppings.
Near Filching, a marquee or barn makes a good home for a taco bar. Our staff set up the station and run it through service. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

What’s on the menu
Hot fillings
Slow-cooked fillings kept hot on the bar, perhaps chicken tinga, birria or carnitas.
Salsas
Guests add as much heat as they like.
How it works
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. A December taco bar in Filching will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. In late June, the light holds until around 9:15pm.
- Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and diets.
- We plan the fillings and toppings with you and quote for them.
- Before the day, we confirm the serving spot, unloading, power and water with the venue.
- Our staff set up the station, keep the fillings hot and top up the bar through service.
- After the last tacos, we clear the station away.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Give us your final numbers and diets

Your questions about taco bar hire in Filching
Do you come to events in the South Downs National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Is Filching close to London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
Can you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Can we have a taco bar at our wedding?
A taco bar works well for a relaxed wedding breakfast. We fit it around your speeches and photos. There is more in our taco bar guide.
How do you handle dietary needs at the taco bar?
Keeping each dish separate makes mixed diets easier, though we cannot guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
Who looks after the taco bar?
We run the station ourselves, so your hosts don’t need to. We pack it away afterwards.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we will suggest the best set-up.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
What we need at the venue
Every venue is different, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Space beside the truck or trailer if you’re booking both
- Power and water, which we confirm when you book
- A sheltered spot if we are serving outside
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
